Welcome to a rainy day in Chicago, where I cuddle next to my space heater in my office dreaming of the brussels sprouts bruschetta from Nico. I once was here for dinner and we ordered a mix of items, then thought we could eat one more thing... so naturally, another brussels sprouts appeared 10 minutes… Continue reading Nico Osteria
Last week I had the pleasure of going to OffShore Chicago (Third floor of Navy Pier) - LET ME TELL YOU this place is so cool. Opened about a month ago but I was lucky enough to have gone for a private networking event with the Magnificent Mile Association. It's the Guinness World Record's largest… Continue reading OffShore Chicago
Hiii, I wish I was posting more but damn life catches you quickly some days. I find myself spending more time with friends and out and about. I feel like I have been eating also average, not as exciting foods. I need to get those creative juices flowing. Anyway, enough about my excuses. I have… Continue reading Summa Time Pasta
I have spent the past two Saturday's straight CHILLIN' on the couch. But was able to make some pretty lovely meals. This was my first time cooking with Chilean sea bass, it's a more expensive fish due to the regionality of it. It's this tender, mild, white fish that cooks up super nicely. It was… Continue reading Chilean Sea Bass
Been so busy lately I haven't had time to write as much as I would like OR cook as much as I want! All my friends who are just getting into blogging or my seasoned pro friends, I applaud you! It's not easy dedicating time to write. But I've been obsessed with this recipe and… Continue reading Flank Steak with Chimichurri sauce
Happy Saturday, So on Tuesday I did a little meal prep and made turkey meatballs with a spicy garlic marinara, spaghetti squash and broccoli! It's one of those meals that reheats so well so it's good all week. If you're feeling extra lazy and don't want to make your own sauce, you can buy storebought,… Continue reading Turkey Meatballs & Spicy Garlic Marinara
Hey friends, Just so bored surviving the polar vortex, figured I could share one of my fave recipes! I love when people tell me they feel inspired to cook by my recipes or try a new restaurant based on the places I go to. I have been back in my groove lately and have been… Continue reading Herb Crusted Salmon + Lemon Sauce, Mashed Cauliflower & Asparagus
I have been blessed at my new job of getting to go to all these incredible events. One of them was held at Aster Food Hall located on the 5th and 6th floor of 900 N Michigan hosted by the Magnificent Mile Association. We were able to try a variety of food that is served… Continue reading Aster Hall
Hey y'all, So 2019 has been off to an amazing start so far. Started the new year with food poisoning... but thank god it only lasted 24 hours. Started a new job last week and instantly feel like a giant weight has been lifted off my shoulders. During my last month off, I have been… Continue reading The Allis
Friends, It's been so long since I've wrote, I feel like I skipped past all my good fall recipes and now it's December and I'm sitting here confused. It's been quite the turn of events lately but I am carving out more time for my personal happiness and writing. I was thinking about this cheesy… Continue reading Chicken & Broccoli with Cheesy “Cauliflower” Sauce
I know it's like 80 degrees here in Chicago but I had a special request for my tomato basil bisque by my bestie Bailey. I used to spend many nights cooking for her and being the best roomie ever, so I get that she misses my cooking. 😉 Not only is this soup amazing to… Continue reading Tomato Basil Bisque
I jumped on The Publican bandwagon AND DRANK THE TEA. And it was awesome. Forgive me for my basiq Chicago restaurant blog, this city is so big and reservations are a must everywhere you go. SOS. But since everyone was wanting to wait for the patio, we snagged a spot inside and got sat right… Continue reading The Publican
